That reminds me. I need to buy a new, fairly inexpensive watch. I had the
Timex Ironman for a coupla years but it took a crap for no apparent reason
so I'm reluctant to buy the same watch. I don't wear a watch other than as a
backup timer while diving so don't want to break the bank. Any suggestions?

Dave.

I've got a G-Shock seems to work OK.

I dove an Ironman for 4 years straight. It cost me $12.

Why not look around for one of the dive timers that used to be so popular.
I've still got a couple of them. They start automatically when you enter
the water and stop when you exit, record several dives before they begin
overwriting previous ones and they're cheap . . . if you can still find
them.

You got any manufacturers/ names? I'm not familiar with that type. My only
criteria there would be, as with a computer, I don't want anything that
makes beeping noises at *any* time.

Dude, you can't beat $14 for a few years use. Didja try replacing the
battery?

If you don't go there, you will never know what is there.

I ain't looking for trouble,.....but you can find it here.

I wear a Seiko dive watch that I bought in 1976... Have worn it more of less
everyday for the last 28 years... It's survived various motorcycle wrecks
(including the one that required them to collect my body parts for
reassembly)... Still works great... It's an automatic, so no batteries to
buy... Looks nearly identical to the current model that they make...

What sort of price range?
As I said, the only time I ever wear a watch is while diving, so a fancy
dancy one would be a bit of a waste.
